Design and creation of manicure for wide nails
It is not easy for owners of wide nails to choose a manicure - it is important to take into account their length, shape and color. Growing would be the best option, but, unfortunately, this option is not suitable for many, and the trends of recent years are unambiguously inclined in favor of naturalness.
That is why it is especially important here that the nail design is competent.
Design features
Nail service specialists assure that, in fact, wide marigolds are not at all such a terrible problem as it seems. Surely long and narrow nails look beautiful and sexy, but wide ones can also look quite attractive if you know a number of nuances:
- the nail plate will visually stretch out if the cuticle is removed or at least moved away;
- say a firm "no" to a square and rectangular shape - rounded tips are preferable for wide marigolds;
- the coating should be applied so that the sidewalls of the nail are left unpainted - they should not be used in the decor;
- dark tones visually make the plate narrower;
- the drawing is best applied to the central part of the marigold so that it distracts the attention of others from the thickness;
- if possible, try to grow the marigolds a little - they should not look too short;
- try not to overuse large drawings and volumetric modeling - the decor should be elegant.
Wide nails give two significant advantages - they are quite simple to process and easy to design, since there is much more room for decor here than with narrow nails.
There are a lot of ways to design wide nails, especially since the nail industry does not stand in one place, but introduces new trends every season, and at the same time, there are certain techniques that should be avoided.
- Try to be as careful with your prints as possible. For example, small flowers and polka dots will only look great if they are applied to only one nail.
- Leopard designs and all sorts of graphic prints look good on wide nails. So, vertical lines, rhombuses or abstraction look advantageous.
- A so-called naked manicure, in which painted areas of the nail alternate with unpainted ones, can be a great idea - in this case, you can adjust the visual width of the nail, while obtaining a stylish modern coating.
- Don't draw horizontal lines, especially in the center. Such decor will visually cut the nail, make it even shorter.
- Put aside flashy and acidic shades - such solutions are appropriate only for teenage girls who still do not know how to follow themselves and fashion trends.
Color palette
When decorating wide nails, the chosen color of the coating is of no small importance. It is definitely worth shifting the emphasis in favor of dark varnishes, since they tend to visually narrow and lengthen the marigold. However, light tones should not be discounted - they are good for adding stylish accents and blocking. As a rule, light varnishes are combined with other shades. Several options are considered good combinations.
- A pink monochromatic finish with an accent on one individual nail, usually an unnamed one. Pointed pictures, for example, a star, look stylish on short nails.
- Quite often, a combination of several varnishes is used, for example, it looks harmoniously ashy with pink, ultramarine with white or blue with lilac. Usually, two fingers are allocated on one hand, and one on the other, so the general perception of the manicure will not be overloaded.
- Contrary to popular belief that red is only suitable for perfect long nails, it is quite often used for wide ones. This shade visually lengthens the nails, so they can safely cover all the nail plates. And to make the coating more sophisticated - draw openwork monograms on one of the fingers or place one rhinestone.
Black varnish for wide nails is always in trend, it attracts attention, lengthens, emphasizes the well-groomed hands.
If you like bright shades, then give preference to mint or turquoise in combination with pink. Keep in mind that in this case, no additional decor is needed, it overloads the manicure.
The combination of pink and yellow looks good, especially such a coating is suitable for young ladies, and to make it even more mischievous, one of the marigolds can be decorated with a pattern.
French is considered a real classic of nail design. - it suits absolutely all types of nails, and wide ones are no exception. In this case, you can use the technique of a classic jacket with a white smile, or experiment with a bright decor, for example, replace white with blue or lilac.
The combination of black and white in the image of a woman is always perfect. Manicure is no exception. It will be very beautiful if you cover the base with a dark varnish, and add stylish accents on your thumb with white.
By the way, you can also make a photo design on such a coating - and the choice of a picture is limited only by your imagination.
A little tip: when choosing an image, try to take into account the color of your accessories - it will be stylish if the shoes and handbag match the varnish, but you can easily choose any other shade of clothes.
